Things to check in Lowestoft
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.

Which postcodes do you cover in Lowestoft?
All of them, including NR32. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Why not use the office air conditioning?
Office systems switch off out of hours and are sized for people, not equipment that runs 24/7. A dedicated system is more reliable and cheaper to run.
What temperature should a server room be?
ASHRAE guidance recommends equipment inlet air of about 18–27°C. Many small rooms are set at around 21–24°C to leave headroom if a unit fails.
